Find online resources on coding.
Even if your school doesn't currently have a computer science program, there are tons of useful coding platforms and curricula available for K-12 teachers.
K-8 Curricula
Bootstrap
This curricular module for students ages 12-16 teaches algebraic and geometric concepts through computer programming.
9-12 Curricula
AP Computer Science A
This course focuses on computing skills related to programming in Java. Professional development is offered through summer institutes at participating universities.
This website offers free coding resources such as elementary curriculum (blend of online, self-guided and self-paced tutorials) and one-day educator workshops.
AP Computer Science Principles
This course teaches foundational concepts and challenges students to explore how computing can impact the world. Professional development is offered through summer institutes at participating universities.
This self-paced, elementary computer programming curriculum covers a range of critical skills from drag-and-drop commands to debugging.
The Beauty and Joy of Computing (BJC)
This introductory curriculum developed at the University of California, Berkeley covers major computing ideas such as abstraction, design, recursion, concurrency and more.
This middle-school program includes instructional modules and professional development for introducing computer science concepts into science classrooms.
ECS — Exploring Computer Science
This curriculum is designed to teach fundamental concepts and big ideas of computing. It includes a weeklong summer institute and quarterly Saturday workshops.
This free online project from the MIT Media Lab's Lifelong Kindergarten Group allows students to program stories, games and animations. ScratchJr is an iOS coding app for ages 5-7.
This free curriculum engages middle-school students in a series of hands-on projects, helping them improve problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
K-12 Curricula
This program provides students and educators with a complete tech education solution that connects to the real world and equips students with the IT skills to succeed in the workforce.
This program offers STEM curricula, including computer science, for all grade levels. The high school computer science program is currently underway in schools across the U.S.
Training & Resources
This program offers free and paid online courses in JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS and other popular languages for website and application development.
This free program increases students' access and exposure to computer science education through afterschool, in-school and summer programs. All clubs are run by teachers or community volunteers.
CS4HS — Computer Science For High School
Free online instruction. Courses and topics vary depending on the institution offering the training. Offered through annual awards, Google's CS4HS supports colleges, universities, and nonprofits dedicated to CS education in their efforts to provide professional-development opportunities for school teachers.
This program offers a wide range of classroom courses, self-study instruction, workshops and other resources at no cost to you or your school.
CSTA — Computer Science Teachers Association
This organization offers curated software-development courses, certification exams, engagement events and more to provide educators with the skills they need to teach computer science and programming.
TEALS – Technology Education and Literacy in Schools
This organization helps high schools build sustainable computer science programs by pairing trained professionals with educators to team-teach courses in schools across the U.S.
This program includes forums, easy-to-use coding software with built-in programming lessons, and a comprehensive curriculum that prepares educators to teach coding to students from Kindergarten to college.
This event series, which anyone can organize, offers one-hour tutorials for all ages in over 45 languages and doesn't require prior experience.
Tynker fuels technological creativity across thousands of schools and powers the imagination of 60 million kids worldwide. There's a learning path for every kid no matter their age, interest, or level.
This resource for children ages 5-9 features self-directed, word-free coding lessons based on MIT and Princeton curricula in order to boost interest in STEM education.
Common Sense's Best Coding Tools for Elementary
These elementary-level tools help kids learn to code by targeting the foundations of programming: problem-solving, logic, and critical thinking.
Mississippi Initiatives
This Water Valley-based program, Mississippi's only coding bootcamp, offers hands-on learning designed to train students in software development in 12 months.
This advocacy initiative was created to promote and advance K-12 computer science education in Mississippi through students, parents, educators and policymakers.
This partnership was established to create an inclusive technology corridor in Mississippi's capital city and includes an annual hackathon for Mississippi students.
We're more than customer inspired.
We are community inspired.
